Greetings. Let me introduce myself, I'm (as it says) Jim in California, Northern, where you are not supposed to be able to grow avocados. I have four trees out in back. It's not a way of life, I wanted shade trees and avocado trees fit the bill nicely, plus you get avocados. I had a bacon avocado sandwich for lunch (store bought). Naturally, it was good. About me, I'm a chef (managed a restaurant while in college), restore cars, built satellite tracking stations and other forms of electronic stuff, and in general - enjoy life. Some of my avocado recipes are below (I was a chef). Jim
